Compass plane


I sharpened this beauty the other day- it has a bending sole so I can adjust the curvature to match the shape of the wood. This plane is really nice and has an inscription on the side: pat'd June17, 1879 Thats my birthday Mo and D not year of course, but this makes it my lucky plane and it really is a reall workhorse and thing of beauty. I bought it at a flea market in Norton MA, 1985.
